Keeps a long Claude Code task on-track — breaks out of looping/circular thinking, watches the context budget, bounds internal reasoning, and triggers a clean handoff before the window fills.

  • Works in 4 steps: Loops — detect and break → Thinking — keep it bounded → Context budget — count signals, don't… → …
  • A clean handoff before the window fills
  • SKILL.md covers Before each step — run this, 1. Loops — detect and break, 2. Thinking — keep it bounded and 3. Context budget — count…, plus 1 more section
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Qwenchance is an agent skill from thananon/9arm-skills. Keeps a long Claude Code task on-track — breaks out of looping/circular thinking, watches the context budget, bounds internal reasoning, and triggers a clean handoff before the window fills. Use when the model is repeating steps, re-reading the same files, second-guessing in circles, stuck or spinning, or running a long multi-step task at risk of exhausting context. Also use when the user says it is "looping", "going in circles", "stuck", "repeating itself", or asks for a handoff before running out of context.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Context engineering.

When your agent uses it

  • A clean handoff before the window fills
  • The model is repeating steps
  • Re-reading the same files
  • Second-guessing in circles

Example prompts

  • “looping”
  • “going in circles”
  • “repeating itself”
  • “/qwenchance”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Loops — detect and break
  2. Thinking — keep it bounded
  3. Context budget — count signals, don't estimate
  4. Hand off cleanly

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a1fc303. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Qwenchance loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 132 tokens; SKILL.md has 616 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~132
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 616 words (~1,110 tokens).

“Long, multi-step work fails three ways: looping, over-thinking, and running out of context. Run the checklist below before each step. When a trigger fires, do the matching action — don't deliberate about it.”
